She had just been kneeling there, breathing hoarsely as chaos continued to ensue around her small form, and as the others sprang into action she felt something inside her head pop. Silence followed after that, a silence she wasn’t even aware of until she saw Jade’s mouth moving but heard nothing. Scout blinked, droplets of blood and rain and sweat flinging from her lashes as she did so, but she was much too concentrated on the heat of her hands to really care about her sudden deafness. The shield was still cracking, shit, but as panic began to set in again Katalina finally acted, spreading water all across the burning magma. The heat seemed to fade in an instant, and Scout stared beyond her wall to see Jade noiselessly panic in the distance. Jade was whooping, screaming [i]something[/i] Scout couldn't understand, and then a flash of light jolted the earth around the frantic girl and her body dropped down to the dirt, probably unconscious. Scout wanted to cry, or perhaps jump up in joy, but as soon as the sense of danger faded she started to feel the effects of overuse. Her vision became fuzzy, dark, and her body screamed with anguish as she felt her other leg give out. In front of her the wall remained, cracked and gleaming and frozen, and though Scout wanted nothing more than to lower her hands and cease its existence she found she was stuck. Her body refused to curl in, to faint, even as her burned hands curled painfully and tears shed from her nearly-blind eyes. [i]this will kill me[/i] Her mind whispered softly, and Scout barely heard it beyond the white noise that filled her head. She felt drained, exhausted, hurt, and she couldn't even fall to the earth and sleep thanks to this damned power. Scout shut her eyes slowly, shaking as she felt the cold hands of death close around her wrists, and then suddenly she was thrust into someone’s arms and pulled through the noiseless wind. Her eyes hung open slightly, and she stared up at the face of Jay with a small, tired, relieved face. Anything he said to her was blocked by the roar in her ears, and as her body's adrenaline began to settle and the reality of her injuries set in she turned her face into his jacket and screamed. Scout’s hands were contorted painfully, shaped into jagged claws and beat red from the heat. Some parts of her skin were a pale pink and puffier than the rest of her flesh, and it seemed that even the rain was causing her pain as it sharply fell onto the burn marks. The rest of her body was stiff and soaked, and her ankle was turning dark purple from her stubborn activities and reckless moves. [b][color=436EEE]“Fuck-- Fuck…”[/color][/b] She hissed into Jay’s chest, eyes shut tightly as the pain just endlessly filled her mind and chest, and then finally her stiffness faded and her head fell back. Whatever ounce of strength she had clung on to faded into nothing, and Scout’s breathing grew shallow as darkness filled her mind and the sweet sense of unconsciousness finally came.
